Brainstoorm - Mush N Go

About Brainstoorm

Mush N Go is a French brand specialising in supplements built around adaptogenic mushrooms, founded by Alexandre Perez after discovering Lion's Mane during a trip to Asia. The brand stands out for its unique synergistic formulas, combining medicinal mushrooms with adaptogenic plants for a more complete wellness approach.

Brainstoorm is an adaptogenic mushroom coffee designed to reinvent the traditional coffee break. This super coffee comes as an instant powder to mix into water, milk or a plant-based drink. Its formula contains 3,475 mg of active compounds per 8 g serving, making it one of the most concentrated adaptogenic coffees on the European market.

The drink combines seven major mushrooms and adaptogenic plants: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, maca, ashwagandha and rhodiola, rounded out with organic CO2-extracted coffee and raw cacao. The extraction process is designed to support optimal bioavailability thanks to a 12:1 extraction ratio, meaning that 360 g of dried mushrooms are required to obtain 30 g of concentrated extracts.

Brainstoorm is aimed at entrepreneurs, students, athletes and anyone seeking lasting focus without the downsides of standard coffee, such as palpitations, anxiety or digestive discomfort. The formula is presented as supporting mental clarity, delivering steady all-day energy, helping with stress management and naturally reinforcing immune resilience. Users report better productivity, a marked reduction in stress and no energy crash.

Composition of Brainstoorm

Brainstoorm is built on a powerful synergy of medicinal mushrooms, adaptogenic plants and natural superfoods.

Adaptogenic mushrooms: Lion's Mane (1,000 mg) is highlighted for memory and concentration support through stimulation of neuronal growth. Cordyceps (1,000 mg) is positioned to enhance mental and physical endurance while improving cellular oxygenation. Chaga (1,000 mg) acts as a powerful antioxidant to help defend against oxidative stress and support immunity.

Adaptogenic plants: Maca (250 mg) is used to support endurance and overall vitality. Ashwagandha (200 mg) is presented as helping calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and regulate cortisol. Rhodiola (25 mg) helps support resilience to stress and maintain concentration during periods of fatigue.

Flavour-building ingredients: Raw cacao (1,307 mg) provides theobromine, a gentle stimulant associated with a positive mood, while also contributing natural antioxidants. Organic CO2-extracted coffee (80 mg of caffeine per serving) brings a full-bodied aroma without excessive bitterness.

The formula is 100% plant-based, organic, free from added sugar, gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan. All extracts come exclusively from the fruiting body, helping ensure maximum concentration of active compounds. The capsule shell contains plant-derived hypromellose (HPMC) and organic coconut MCT oil.

Ingredient sourcing

Brainstoorm's adaptogenic mushrooms are processed and extracted in a French laboratory that follows high quality standards. Mush N Go aims to source as many mushrooms as possible from French and European cultivation, supporting traceability and quality control.

Some mushrooms also come from responsibly managed cultivation outside Europe, grown in their natural native environments. Lion's Mane grows on hardwood trunks, Chaga is harvested from birch bark in cold Siberian and North Asian regions, while Cordyceps originates from mountainous areas of the Himalayas, China, Tibet and Nepal.

The mushrooms undergo rigorous testing, including metal screening, to eliminate the risk of harmful elements introduced during cultivation. All products are organic, non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free, and are analysed by independent French laboratories to verify purity and the absence of contaminants.

How to use Brainstoorm

Preparing Brainstoorm is quick and easy. Add one tablespoon of Brainstoorm powder (around 8 g) to your cup. Then pour in 200 ml of hot or cold water, milk or a plant-based drink, depending on your preference. Stir until smooth, then enjoy.

The recommended intake is one to two cups per day, ideally in the morning and again around midday to maintain stable energy. To maximise the effects, consistent use for at least 3 to 4 weeks is recommended, as the benefits of adaptogens tend to build with regularity.

Initial effects may be felt from the very first cups, with a lift in energy and improved concentration. After 2 to 3 weeks, energy generally feels more even and stress noticeably lower. Beyond one month, Brainstoorm can become part of a broader wellbeing routine supporting lasting calm and stronger immune resilience.

My verdict on Brainstoorm

Brainstoorm is a serious, high-performance alternative to conventional coffee for anyone looking to support cognitive performance and everyday wellbeing. Its ultra-concentrated active profile clearly differentiates it from competing products, with one of the highest dose levels currently seen on the European market.

The gourmet cocoa-hazelnut taste appeals to most users, who appreciate the absence of excessive bitterness or any lingering mushroom note. Customer feedback also points to excellent digestive comfort, unlike classic coffee, which often causes acidity and bloating. The value proposition remains competitive, especially in the larger formats and via subscription.

I would particularly recommend Brainstoorm to entrepreneurs, knowledge workers, athletes and anyone sensitive to traditional coffee who wants to maintain sharp focus and reliable energy without compromising digestive or nervous-system comfort. The French brand's transparency around composition, sourcing and quality control adds an extra layer of trust.
